Hey,
I came across some old CD-Rs (remember them? :P) and found code for a simple game I wrote my 2nd year in college. I guess really it’s a prototype as I wrote in it a couple of days. I’m not sure why I never got around to polishing it up properly – exams probably.
It was a 2 player boxing game written in Java that I’m considering porting to C#/XNA and run it in Windows (but may just keep as a Java project) just for the experience. I work as a .NET developer so I’d go with C# (over C++) simply out of convenience.
The mechanics of the game are pretty straight forward, you move the boxers around the ring and try to punch your opponent. Each boxer has a health and stamina meter. Health obviously depletes the more punches you take, your stamina depletes the more punches you through but it will recharge.
The game was a best of 3 rounds.
In terms of art what I had hoped to add was:

* a better UI (a splash screen, a menu etc)* a much better looking environment
* a crowd and tv cameras that moved to follow the boxers as they moved in the ring (the red arrows in the first 2 screenshots below represented the cameras, and did move to follow the boxers)
* Sound
[/list:u:fd98a58e1c]And there are things with the code I want to improve too – betters controls and AI so it could be a one player game.
The source and "art" is here. If you want to run the game, double click on the file called "boxing.html". There’s "read me.txt" with the controls:
These are 2 initial screenshots:

Good stuff anthony. Controls are hard but you have a good base there.
I worked on a small boxing game concept in college too (Team of 3 but think we only put a few hours in each). I’m sure team would not mind sharing if you saw anything useful in below vid.

The controls I had are dreadful and really need some serious thought. I’ve been tinkering with a 360 controller and XNA this morning I’m going to try prototype using the L/R triggers and bumpers.

Do you mean the "theme" from the film? Cavatina Or another piece?

Yep, I only knew it as the Deer Hunter theme, nice usage in your boxing video…
